Updated: 09-Dec-2016

Ideally located with the beach just across the street, nearby restaurants, shops

This stunning stylish residence is set on fine golden sandy beach.

Villa Mediterranea Seafront offers a peaceful refuge only an hour away from the tourist sites in Rome, Pompeii and Naples, and is the only holiday villa just 50 meters by the sea. In less than 1 min walk to public or private beach and many panoramic beach clubs/restaurants. A context where all is walk by.

Mediterranea Seafront is an aristocratic home of great charm on the Gulf of Gaeta. The villa offers to our holiday visitors a peaceful escape with lush garden, airy & bright rooms and a broad balcony overlooking wonders of the sea.

This Villa it's set in the middle of the picturesque town of Gaeta, Formia and Minturno with its ancient Roman ruins, medieval down towns and castles, ancient churches and shops, bars, trattoria, restaurants, pizzeria and ice cream shops.

Villa Mediterranea is one of our very few private residences with this much adjoining space for intimate holidays, family reunions, celebrations and group vacations, and is the ideal place to spend a serene, peaceful holiday, within day-trip distance of Rome or Naples, but with none of the noise and chaos of the cities. The Villa’s beach and private parking are a premium on the Gulf of Gaeta, which attracts lovers of water sports such as swimming, sailing, snorkeling and sailboarding.

The three towns adjacent to the villa, Gaeta, Formia and Minturno offer wonderful restaurants that serve seafood caught daily in the bay. The accessibility of the train makes Villa Mediterranea an excellent home base for exploration of the entire area, without having to deal with the city traffic.

The villa has a carefully maintained garden with Mediterranean trees (olive, lemon etc.) and local/exotic plants.

There is also a private parking area for 2 cars.

This finely fitted villa is fully equipped of everything you may need to enjoy a first class stay in Formia. You will find a full terracotta tiles flooring, air conditioning and heating system in all rooms, fast internet wireless system, TV, large garden and the beach is just at 50mt away.

Our guests favorite area is the living room connected to the garden, equipped with a seating area, local flowers, and the enchanting views of the sea, snipping a bottle of the good Italian wine. This is the best way to enjoy the sunset overlooking the sea or to have breakfast under the Italian warm weather most days of the year.

Nice villa but too noisy

The villa was lovely albeit a bit tired. Broken tiles could do with replacing and the outside given a fresh coat of paint. It accommodated my party of 10 comfortably although my sister did find the twin beds and sofa bed uncomfortable to sleep in. The kitchen only has one working socket which is shared with toaster, kettle and microwave which is inconvenient for such a large party. The recycling is a mine field so we opted for the private garbage collection.

On the whole the villa is nice with plenty of bathrooms and lovely gardens which my toddlers loved to play in especially when the sprinklers came on in the early evening. Its situation across the road from the beach is ideal. The supermarkets are close by. Unfortunately by night the villa is not so idyllic. So much noise from the beach and the bars keep everyone awake until 3.30am and then the parasol sellers in the parking space below the front bedrooms wake you at 6am - not ideal for any young family! This small business also left us with a rubbish problem in the drive way which I had to complain about twice before if was half-heartedly cleared away. I felt like I needed a holiday to recover from this holiday at the end of the week. Shame - perhaps triple glazing is the answer.

Owner's Response: Dear guest.
Thank you for your review on our property.
We take this kind of reviews very seriously, hereunder our reply.

We never had a complaint about the accommodation and premises of the house. Our current guests find it perfect for a such a big group (also 10p), specially if you have some preferences such as the beach walking distance. and nearby supermarkets.
There are plenty of (tested) working sockets throughout the entire house, enough for a big group (as it is demonstrated by the current group). The garbage collection and recycling rules are set by the council, not by us, and they are pretty similar to those throughout whole Europe.
Dear guest, you rented an entire villa just in front of the beach, that has its own night life, having said that, there was nothing we could do about the noise, it was a consequence of the high season we are having. However, we will take into consideration your suggestion. Regarding the rubbish, we took actions immediately as soon as we were aware of the situation.
kind Regards

A lovely place by day but extremely noisy by night

The house is lovely albeit a bit tired. A few broken tiles could do with replacing and the outside given a lick of paint. It accommodated our party of ten comfortably although my sister did complain about the mattresses in the twin bedroom which she said were uncomfortable and the sofa bed. The kitchen only has one socket so you can only use the toaster, kettle or microwave one at a time, which was a tad inconvenient for my family. The house's location a few metres from the beach was ideal and the beach was beautiful as was the weather. Unfortunately the house is also a few metres from a bar and by night usually from 10.30pm till 1am weekdays and till after 3am at the weekend there was no sleep for any of us. The noise from the bar and beach (there seemed to be parties here too) felt like we were having a party in our bedroom. After a week we were all extremely tired. As well as this outside the property is an area of ground which is used to sell parasols and sunbeds for the free beach in exchange for parking. It literally is in front/below both front bedrooms. So when we did eventually get to sleep in the small hours we were woken by the traffic downstairs and the men guiding cars in. This would start around 6am. The garden is beautiful and my children loved playing there especially when the sprinklers came on. The supermarkets are close by. If it wasn't for the noise I would go again but this really ruined our stay. We will not be returning. Perhaps some triple glazing is the answer??

Quirky but large, secluded family house with garden.

We had a lovely week's stay here but, unfortunately for us, we picked a very busy time so there was a lot of noise from the beach and the car park directly in front of the house. We were well placed for exciting day trips to Rome and Pompei and found a lovely stretch of beach without any umbrellas just round the headland from Gaeta, where you can park on the road if you come early enough. You then walk down lots of steps and pay 3 euros per person to go on the beach. Well worth it!

We enjoyed the enclosed front and rear gardens and used the BBQ once. Other than that we tended to eat out. There are plenty of restaurants in the area, some better than others. The best one we found was called Roncesare in Via Gianola - good choice of main courses, wine and delicious puddings!

Joanna in the office was very helpful, and even though the oven didn't work, the air conditioning and washing machine were great. We also enjoyed watching some of the Olympic events on the TV.

Wonderful beachfront rental

Overall the villa was very nice, spacious and perfect location. The views were spectacular and there was plenty of space for 6 people to fit comfortably. The location to the beach was perfect, and listening to the sea at night was wonderful. And being so close to local restaurants was convenient. However, there is an issue with having adequate hot water, the system is solar which is great but you will not have hot water in the morning or after the sun goes down. So if showering between the hours of 11 and 5 works for you then this will not be a problem. Not sure why...... but we were not given instructions on how to start the electric back up which only works on one bathroom. We figured it out and by day 4 we had some hot water. So if the weather is poor everyone has to either forgo showers or take turns in the one bathroom, which is not easy if you have more than 2-4 people staying. Also, I felt the villa could have been cleaner, there were spiderwebs and dust webs on all the ceilings, along with an ant problem.

Another issue was the charge for linens, which was not explained prior to arrival even though we had several emails. And the last thing I want to do on vacation is worry about specific garbage disposals however, we had to set out recycle everyday and there were fines if not done correctly. Do not get me wrong we recycle but it was nerve racking putting the right items in the right bin and set out on the correct day when we are on vacation. For such a large villa there was not adequate bin space. I will say that the staff was friendly and accommodating and answered our inquires in a timely manner.

A lovely Italian home on the beach...

We had a lovely week in May 2016 at this Villa, it is right on the beach front which is safe and well kept for children. The villa itself is well maintained inside with all the amenities you would need, one thing to note is that the stairs and upstairs hall are not very safe for young children. Unfortunately, we arrived just before the season started which meant only one of the beach clubs/toilets were open and the area itself was very quiet, we would love to come back in high season as we can imagine how lovely it would be. We spent a day in Rome and a day in Naples, the trains from Formia were easy to use. Special thanks to Giovanna our host for looking after us so well.

This house is perfect to enjoy: sea & sand beach, day visits to Rome & Naples (1 hour to the city centre), Italian brands outlets shopping, visits to local charmy medieval towns on the sea and in the country side, sports, thermal bath, panoramic walking path on the sea, kids playgrounds on the sea, wine and mozzarella farms visits, day boat tours… and much more…
